My husband has just inherited three antique pocket watches. None of the three is easy to identify and value, but the one that perplexes me the most is what I believe to be a "captain's watch." One the face is printed F. Vasquez Ste Croix Mexico. One the inside of the back is printed 13600 18K and 3. Could you give me any ideas you have about this watch? Many thanks.

Neat watch! In all likelyhood the dial made for a local retailer and the watch is from another country. So what we ned to do is to try to find some hallmarks on the inside of the case back to determine country of origin.

Is anything marked on the movement? If not a scan would be helpful.

Can you set the watch to 2 time zones?

I like it!
